   Yes, for integrands involving inverse elementary functions, integration by   
   parts is obviously the way to go. The following partial derivation of Nasser's   
   integral uses parts twice:   
      
   Int[ArcTanh[x]*Log[x]/(x-1),x]   
      
   == -ArcTanh[x]*PolyLog[2,1-x] +   
      Int[PolyLog[2,1-x]/(1-x^2),x]   
      
   == -ArcTanh[x]*PolyLog[2,1-x] +   
      1/2*Int[PolyLog[2,1-x]/(1-x),x] +   
      1/2*Int[PolyLog[2,1-x]/(1+x),x]   
      
   == -ArcTanh[x]*PolyLog[2,1-x] -   
      1/2*PolyLog[3,1-x] +   
      1/2*Int[PolyLog[2,1-x]/(1+x),x]   
      
   == -ArcTanh[x]*PolyLog[2,1-x] -   
      1/2*PolyLog[3,1-x] +   
      1/2*Log[1+x]*PolyLog[2,1-x] +   
      1/2*Int[Log[x]*Log[1+x]/(x-1),x]   
      
   Then I got stuck.  Fortunately however, Mathematica's built-in integrator   
   could integrate log(x)*log(1+x)/(x-1), although for some reason it could not   
   integrate the original problem.   
      
   So if somebody has a better nose than I how to step through the integration of   
   log(a+b*x)*log(c+d*x)/(e+f*x), Rubi and I would very much like to know...
